You wear the mask!

You wear the mask that smirk and lies But inside, you sink in the deep mire, Where there is no foothold; while gathering your strength to veil your problems

But yet, you nip them, bland the pain on your tongue, it rids you of fear

Why should you signify your problem, fears, and tears? When the world seems not to cares or tries? Nah! You only let them see you while You wear the mask

Your smiles, but ,O God, do not keep silence; For your problem from year till now kills you on and on You play, but only to show off; sadden and pain can’t say it feelings. But let them mock and mutter You wear the mask!
